Question of the week: What church will President-elect Obama join?

Cutting taxes while providing better-funded health care and job programs. Withdraw troops from Iraq. Choose key cabinet positions. Meet world leaders in person at a time of global unrest. A hypoallergenic-yet-presidential dog for his two young daughters.

But here’s one to be watched very closely: which church pew does he fill.

A Christian who converted from Islam — many detractors like to point out, he has been fairly open about his faith. And then there’s the matter of severing ties with his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, because of inflammatory comments.

Most presidents are infrequent churchgoers because of the commotion their presence creates, but it was interesting that Obama skipped church this weekend.

Meanwhile, African-American churches nationwide celebrated what they saw as divine intervention that finally one of their own will be the nation’s leader.

So what church does he attend?

A mainline, Protestant one where politics are centrist to liberal? A historically black congregation? A moderate evangelical one?

Whatever congregation he chooses — and whoever becomes “his pastor” — will have a lot on his or her hands.

My guess, it’ll be a centrist church, such as Episcopal or Methodist. And the pastor will be very low key. What do you think?
